This cyberattack is said to be the second-biggest security ever of such an exchange.
The bitcoin was stolen from users segregated wallets, he said.
The volume stolen amounts to about 0.75 percent of all Bitcoin in circulation, Reuters says.
Bitfinex said in a blog post that any outstanding clearances would be made at the price before the hacking.
We will look at various options to address customer losses later in the investigation, Bitfinex added.
We ask for the communitys patience as we unravel the causes and consequences of this breach.
